**Rising Violence in San Carlos Linked to “Los Cheyos”**
Following the assassination of José Eleazar Toscano, also known as “El Profe,” tensions have escalated in various regions including Comondú, Loreto, and Mulegé. The violent activity is allegedly tied to a criminal faction known as “Los Cheyos,” with connections reportedly extending to other notorious cartels. The murder of El Profe, carried out with over 30 gunshots, is seen by security sources as a message marking a power shift within local criminal networks.
This surge in violence has drawn the attention of Baja California Sur’s security forces. Intelligence reports suggest that economic resources derived from illegal activities are being channeled into Mulegé, a seemingly remote area. The State Investigation Agency has linked recent killings back to the ongoing power struggles among criminal groups, which see “Los Cheyos” emerging as a dominant force in Comondú.
Recent homicides of state police officers are suspected to be connected to these dangerous factions, specifically to ongoing disputes involving other criminal cells. Authorities are intensifying efforts to dismantle these networks by securing arrest warrants against several individuals believed to be responsible for these crimes.
**Additional Report: Recent Developments in San Carlos and Surrounding Areas**
A deeper investigation into crime dynamics in San Carlos has revealed more complex linkages between local and international criminal organizations. “Los Cheyos” have been identified as having a long-standing affiliation with larger cartels, which extends back to at least 2016. This criminal entity has been implicated in extortion schemes, demanding protection fees from local businesses and fishermen.
Moreover, recent findings have uncovered clandestine graves in the vicinity of La Paz, shedding light on ongoing cartel violence since 2014. These discoveries have given hope to families seeking closure for missing loved ones. Thanks to the diligent efforts of local search collectives, over 47 bodies have been recovered this year—the highest number recorded historically in Baja California Sur.
As these investigations continue, federal and state authorities remain vigilant, deploying resources to crack down on these organized crime groups and restore safety to affected communities.
